Pole barns built by a local crew out of Clarkson
If you've got hay sitting under a tarp, a tractor parked under a tree, or animals that need a dry spot out of the wind, a pole barn is usually the most practical answer. We build pole barns, post frame buildings and lean-tos for farms and rural property across Grayson County, and we work out of our shop at 103 E Mason St in Clarkson.
Our owner has worked in construction since 1995. The business got its start in Mitchell, Indiana, and we opened here in Clarkson in 2014. We build barns the plain, sturdy way, and we work to keep every job affordable.
What we build
- Pole barns. Open or closed barns for equipment, hay, feed and anything else you want out of the weather.
- Post frame buildings. Built the same way, with posts set in the ground, then closed in as a storage building or whatever your place needs.
- Lean-tos. A roofed side off a barn or building, handy for parking equipment or giving stock a place out of the rain.
- Horse barns. We build horse barns. Tell us how you work with your horses and we'll talk it through with you on site.
- Barndominiums. We build barndominiums too. Each one is different, so we go over your plans with you in person before we give you an estimate.
How a pole barn job goes
We walk the site with you
Every job starts on your ground. We look at where you want the building, how you'll get in and out, and what it needs to do for you. Then you get a free written estimate.
Posts go in the ground
We set the posts in the ground. If a spot on your job calls for it, we set them on piers instead. Either way, we'll tell you what your site needs and why.
Framing
With the posts set, we frame the roof and walls that the metal fastens to.
Mac-D ribbed metal panels
We use Mac-D ribbed metal panels. Mac-D is a rib style, not a brand. Several companies make it. If the house needs a roof too, take a look at our metal roofing work.
Doors
We put the doors where they make sense for how you'll use the building, whether that's backing equipment in or walking stock through.
Gravel floor
We offer gravel floors. If you want to get a feel for how much stone a floor takes before we come out, try our gravel calculator.
Permits, when they're required
Some buildings need a permit and some don't. When yours does, we handle it. When it doesn't, we won't add that step.
What to have ready before we come out
- Where on the property you want the building, and how we'll get to that spot.
- What it's for: equipment, hay, horses, storage or something else.
- Whether you'd like a lean-to on the side.
- Where you want the doors.
- Whether you want a gravel floor.
- A few phone photos of the spot, if you can take them.
Where we build
We build across Grayson County, around Clarkson, Leitchfield, Caneyville, Nolin Lake and Rough River, and into nearby Edmonson, Ohio and Breckinridge counties. If you're over in Leitchfield or a little further out, just call and ask. Beyond barns, we take on a wide range of building and remodeling jobs as a general contractor.
Pole barn questions we hear on the phone
Do you set the posts in the ground or on piers?
In the ground. That's how we normally build. If a spot on your job calls for piers, we set the posts on piers instead, and we'll tell you why when we walk the site.
What kind of metal do you use?
We use Mac-D ribbed metal panels. Mac-D is a rib style, not a brand name, and several companies make it.
Can you put in a gravel floor?
Yes, we offer gravel floors. Just tell us you want one when we come out and we'll put it in your estimate.
Do I need a permit for a pole barn?
It depends on the job. If yours needs a permit, we handle it for you. If it doesn't, we don't add that step.
Do you build horse barns and barndominiums?
Yes, we build both. Every one is different, so we'll come out, hear what you have in mind and go over it with you before we give you an estimate.
Do you build lean-tos?
Yes. We build lean-tos along with our pole barns and post frame buildings. Tell us where you want one when we walk the site.
